Request for Council Action continued <br />Page 3 <br />Novembers, 1999 <br />2000 Non-Union Compensation Adjustment <br />Police Officers <br />The police officer bargaining unit is working under a 2-year contract that capped the year 2000 <br />insurance contribution increase at $15.00 per month. Because this was negotiated in late 1998, the <br />large increase in insurance rates was not taken into account. The City has always taken the position <br />tliat it is very important that benefits such as the insurance contribution are consistent across all <br />employee groups. For this reason, it is staffs recommendation that the $25.00 per month insurance <br />contribution increase be provided to the police officers also. <br />Market-Based Pav Adjustments <br />The 2000 budget process included discussion of, and funding for, market-based pay adjustments in <br />addition to the annual pay schedule adjustment. These pay adjustments will be based on a survey <br />of pay levels in comparable cities. The survey has not yet been completed. Staff plans to complete <br />the survey and bring the surv',v results, along with the proposed market-based pay adjustments, to <br />the Council at its December 13 meeting. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Motion to approve increases to the City's non-union pay ranges of 2% effective January 1, 2000 and <br />1% effective July 1, 2000, and to approve a $25.00 per month increase in the City's medical <br />insurance contribution for both non-union employees and the police officers.
